Thanks Google for updating the stable channel but still think Google stopped with news on inetrface user many years ago we need an overhaul in designating this excellent web browser does not help only changes under the hood and forget to change the ineterface. We need a good update on the layout because with each passing version Google Chrome continues with the same designe ever.

At least according to peacekeeper.futuremark.com performance has gone down. I used to get 5700+ at best but speed has gone down for a few versions and now i get 4900+. more than 14 percent drop. So much for performance tuning. I am thinking going back to firefox. At least firefox does not spy its users like chrome.

Hi I'm having problems with a function on my site known as "autoplay" from a certain time same as youtube does when you share a link with a time specified to start.

It used to work on chrome until your update on June 10th 2014, now it only works on mozilla firefox and internet explorer.

The videos from my site with a time segment won't play anymore, if you can give me any info on the adobe flash player update you did I would be very gratefull to see if I can do some work around on my side to fix it. Thank you very much.

This new update has slowed the browser than before in my ubuntu 14.04 system...some fonts have changed and moreover google and its associated sites sites are loading at a sluggish speed even on a broadband connection.

Has anyone else noticed that tabs do not seem to want to load at all or load very slowly unless you are active in that tab? As soon as you make a tab your focus it will load content as quickly as I would normally expect.

For example if you control-click several links to open them in a new tab none of the tabs will actually load any content (tab title just says "Loading...") until you click into the tab.

I haven't had time to try this on a different computer yet, but I did notice it after this update and was curious if anybody else was experiencing this?

It seems that css underline rendering changed in this release. When using Verdana with a 1px solid underline, the underline actually touches the text while in other browsers (Firefox, Safari) the underline still shows 1px beneath the text, as intended.

I'm experiencing this behavior in OSX Mavericks in Chrome 36.0.1985.125

pls remove the google search bar below the address bar. what purposeit serve if engine is already integrated with address bar. this will be in line with your promise of simple and clean or tidy interface.

Huge +1 for SVG bug, our styles are really messed up, this is a big problem for us, and wasn't happening on Chrome 35 or any other browser, please help with it!On a first glance it seem the height of SVG elements for expanded by a lot, we are using D3

I had to disable hardware acceleration in two Linux computers, since they were both running really slow. Disabling hardware accel restored the usual performance. Both computers use Intel graphics (one is an old ULV celeron, the other is a new Haswell i5).

I tried running from the command line, and I found no relevant clues, so I didn't report a bug, but I thought I'd drop a line.

As noted above, jQuery jPlayer media player is broken by Chrome v36. I just noticed the same thing happening on my Android phone too. Google developers---please fix this bug. jPlayer is all over the place and the other browsers all handle it just fine. My organization uses jPlayer a lot on our site. Please give me a reason not to tell unhappy visitors to switch to Firefox....

This update broke our chrome. All5 of our PC's using matrox m9128 video cards now just get black screens. Every thing is black including the Omni box. we have to put in the command line --disable-gpu to get them to work at all , but then cant open links because the don't use the command line. cant find anywhere to make disable-gpu global. it all worked fine till this update.

Since version 36 is installed Chrome is terribly slow. There is a keyboard lag in every site i can type or click things (like eg. this text-box), also the scrolling of pages does not go fluently, so i mis-click several times per day.

I tried several options, like disabling all plugins, disabled spell-check etc. but the problem remains. Also the beta versions of 37 or 38 dev, still have this issue.

Here is a major bug with Chrome 36 which I haven't read about yet. In my eCommerce application (AbleCommerce) there are financial reports with the option to "download as Excel or CSV"--a very common and helpful feature. With Chrome36 this download as Excel feature is broken---it yields a download dialog box, but it is configured to down the aspx file of the report page--not the Excel file. There is no way to make it work correctly, although the feature works fine with Firefox, Safari and IE (all recent versions). Chrome developers, I am about to abandon Chrome as my primary browser due to this mounting list of common things that I need to use which are broken now in v36. In addition to this download dialog issue I'm seeing many different jQuery applications broken--once again, on sites including my own. I'm about ready to bail and start using Firefox as my primary. Do you care? Do you test this stuff? Or are we the alpha testers?
